About us

Why Ocularniva exists

We opened in 2021 to capture music and conversations without extra layers. No large lobby—room to play, sing and listen before you export stems or send a mix online.

Most sessions come from Amsterdam and the wider Randstad; remote mix and master run via secure upload. Rates and packages: Services.

The rooms

Live room — 42 m²

Two to 5 musicians at once, each on a separate track. Wood floor and treatment tuned for acoustic guitars, strings and room vocals.

Vocal booth — 8 m²

Isolated booth for vocals, rap and solo instruments; sight line to the control room.

Control room — 22 m²

Main and nearfield monitoring, patchbay to live room and booth. Podcast monitoring runs here too.

Gear and approach

We route 28 microphone paths and fixed DIs; no brand laundry list because choice depends on voice or instrument. Headphones and basic backline are ready; bring your own instrument if that is your sound.

Podcast sessions use a fixed table setup for up to 3 guests; rough edit is part of the session fee. More per service on podcast studio and ensemble recording.
